THE SUSTAINABLE INSTALLATION– Recycle, Reproduce, and Reuse
Metal Art Contemporary Exhibit and Shop
The substantial materials of Metal Art are based on copper. Such material can be reproduced,recycle, and reuse. The idea about “ green” material research and amazing spatial experience are the key concept in this project. With the help of digital fabrication, we can explore different space topology which combined exhibition, workshop and retail functions.
The objective of this project is not only meeting the requirement of what client needs,
but also trying to develop a “prototype” and utilize the digital assembling skill. In
this project, we used recycle woods and reproduce them for highly strength materials,
meeting the requirement of “green material”. With regard to prototype, every piece of
spatial components are unique, like the sequence you tour around inside the shop.
From art or architectonic points of view, the whole process, from idea, concept, and
computer modeling to digital modeling and physical fabrication, is aimed to challenge
and transcend the conventional interior design process and result.
The function of this project is simple, including commercial and display and it works efficient as a normal program. But this instillation as a whole is more like a masterpiece of a certain artist rather than a design product in the built environment. In short, we believe excellent design can be served a catalyst to enjoy a better life.
